The Comparative Value OF Surface
Drainage and Deep Tile Drainage.

~N-N~
1t is thought by many that all that is need
ed to be done is to draw the water from the
surface of the land in order to get the full
benefits that may be had from cultivation of
the soil. This is a great mistake. Surface
drainage impoverishes the land. Surface
drainage carries away from the land all the
plant food that has been dissolved by the
water as it fell upon the ground, which in
cludes much of the most valuable portion of
the manure thrown upon the ground, and also
a considerable amount of fine soil which is
the most productive portion. By surface
drainage is also lost the ammonia and other
plant food that is found in al rain and snow.
This amounts, in Northwestern Ohio, to a
little over the equivalent of 800 pounds of
guano per acre. This plant food is ready for
immediate use, and is one of the bounties
founded by an all-wise providence, and
should not be thrown away. The intelligent
person will therefore never allow it to flow
away from his land until he has extracted all
the plant food it contains, and stored it up
in his soil as food ready prepared for the use
of future crops. The proper way to do this
is to lay tile deep enough in the ground to
draw down through the soil and filter out all
this plant food, and then let the water away
without doing any damage. Surface drain
age is like ''saving at the spigot and wasting
at the bung hole" Deep tile drainage draws
the water away without carrying with it the
fine soil, so that all washing of the soil is pre-
vented. Surface drainage impoverishes the
soil, while deep tile drainage enriches it. So
that land that is well underdrained is kept at
its highest state of productiveness with very
little labor and expense, as it receives from
mothers fountain most valuable supply of
the food most needed by the growing crops.
Therefore drain your land by deeply laid tile
and grow wealthy, while your impendent
neighbors let all this wealth run to waste by
surface drainage and shallow tile.

An unusual large quantity of maple sugar
and molasses has been made in Henry county
this season. There is lots coming to market,
but of late years it does not find as ready sale
as formerly, for the reason that it is not IN
common to adulterate it with common cheap
sugar and molasses. People. are therefore
suspicious, and will not buy unless they
know the maker to be honest. There Is real
" little Of the sugar in market that has the
good old-fashioned "maple" taste. This
may be caused by the new way of manu-
featuring it, or it may be bybogus adultera-
tion. .&NH b. tHf

lConmunlchteu
Inquire no longer of man who is the author
of evil. Behold him in yourself. Take away
every thing that is the work of man and all
the rest is good.
Twas man himself brought death intUfhe
world; and man himself gave keenness to his
darts; quickened his pace and multiplied
destruction on mankind.
Truth is like the dew of heaven; in order
to preserve it pure it must be collected in a
pure vessel.
On different senses different objects strike
their different passions, more or less infame
as strong or weak the organs of the frames.
And hence one master passion in the breast,
like Aaron's serpent, swallows up the rest.
Wisdom is oftimes nearer when we stoop
than when we soar.
The great end of existence is to grow per-
feet in Gods perfecting, and to feel the life
of God in body, heart and brain, as conscien-
tiously as water, fuel and light. And will
ingly to breathe in all the breast the ef-
fuence of God our native air. ~
